Le origini della Chiesa di S. Maria Maggiore, sita nel Borgo Vecchio, ad Avigliana, alle pendici del castello, sono incerte. Già nel XII secolo essa è citata come dipendenza della Prevostura di San Lorenzo d'Oulx. La chiesa ha subito nel corso dei secoli numerosi rifacimenti e si presenta attualmente con una veste barocca. Dell'originario complesso romanico rimane solo la base del campanile, rielaborato in chiave gotica nel corso del XV secolo con l'applicazione di decori a bacili di ceramica smaltata. Come accennato, l'interno ha subito profonde modifiche a partire dal XV secolo e si presenta attualmente a navata unica con cappelle laterali (edificate nel XIX secolo), presbiterio e coro poligonali. Tra gli arredi antichi conservati nella chiesa si citano il pulpito settecentesco, proveniente dall'ex convento di S. Agostino, e i dipinti barocchi raffiguranti le Storie dell'Antico Testamento e l'Annunciazione, mentre risale al 1926 la tela di Giovanni Paolo Crida raffigurante il La chiesa svolse funzioni di parrocchiale fino al 1974, anno in cui il culto è stato trasferito presso la nuova chiesa di Santa Maria Maggiore, situata nel borgo basso di Avigliana, nei pressi della stazione ferroviaria. Attualmente la chiesa è sede del Centro Culturale Vita e Pace, che ne ha promosso i lavori di restauro e le indagini archeologiche, ed ospita la collezione permanente delle opere scultoree in bronzo e gesso dell'artista Elsa Veglio Turino (1921-1986). Tra le opere facenti parte della collezione spiccano la Crocifissione e il Cristo svuotato, di intensa espressività.

Though beautiful colors and sharpness, there's something wrong with me, and if I perceive enlarged dell'artificioso or unnatural, perhaps too much "Clarity and Luminance" on Lr or Camera Raw ..? Or is un'HDR ... ?? The hdr to me sometimes I'm not crazy ... !!
However, the photo no larger I find bright, sharp and rich in color and detail .... It would be nice to see her 100% in a 50-inch high definition for example ....

Unless hello, thanks for the comment, is not HDR, I never liked in a broad sense, played only on contrast and sharpness!
